Gita Mahathmya

Gita Mahathmya
By Adhi SankaraTranslated by P. R. Ramachander

[The Gita Mahathmya which normally one reads after reading Gita is from Varaha
Purana. I also found this prayer in the web. It is not listed in the Complete
Works of Adhi Sankara. You can see another translation of this prayer at:
www.jagannathavallabha.com/gita/html/gita_mahatmya.html. The summary meaning of
one more version, which gives Mahathmya chapter wise is given at:
omshivam.wordpress.com/sreemad-bhagvad-gita/gita-mahatmya-the-glories-of-the-bhagavad-gita-from-the-padma-purana/]

Gita which is the entire nectar of Mahabharatha,
Is the one which fell out in the words of Lord Vishnu himself,
And so if to drink Gita which is like the Sacred waters of Ganga,
You would not have one more birth.
